After entering a new user and activating it in ELOG, the new user receives an email.

The link does not work because the port number is repeated in the link (see below)

In the Global part of the elogd.ini we have added the port:

port = 8080



Maybe I am overlooking something, any suggestions are very much appreciated!



Thanks!

Ron

Email Subject: Your ELOG account has been activated



Email Body:



Your ELOG account has been activated on host eloghost:8080.



You can access it at http://eloghost:8080:8080/logbookname/?unm=newuser.



To subscribe to any logbook, click on 'Config' in that logbook.

Hi Stefan, thank you very much for having a look at this :-)



Here is the config file we use. Seems okay to me, but I may be overlooking something.





[global]

port = 8080

SMTP host = localhost

Self register= 0

Display Email recipients = 0

Use Email Subject = [ELOG - $logbook]

Date format = %a %d-%b-%Y %H:%M

Allowed encoding = 1



[MYLOGBOOK]

Theme = default

Comment = My logbook

Password file = passw_mylogbook.pwd

Admin user = admin,user1,user2,user3

Hi,

the manual says:

"
There are four ways through which access to a logbook may be controlled:

it may be open for all to read ;
it may require a common "read" password for all users ;
it may require each user to have an individual user account (login name) and password ;
finally, access may be granted or not depending on the address of the workstation you are using.
"

But it doesn't say how to do so or at least I didn't find it.

If I have each user have to log in with an individual accout, can I define which logbooks he can read and/or modify?
If yes, how to do that?

Also, please accept my vote for user groups. We can use that, too.

TIA,
Roland.

Hi,

I installed ELOG on other machine for making automatic backups. I copied the .cfg file to the slave and edited the .cfg file on the original machine (mirror server entries).
(automatic configuration with -C didn't work somehow - maybe a firewall problem)

Then I tried to synchronize manually, which works great.
I set the mirror cron = 0 7-18 * * 1-5, as written as example in the documents, but nothing happens at full hours.

There's something else strange: I can't access "https://lx0.mydomain.org/" or "http://lx1.mydomain.org:8082/" directly. The browser just keeps loading - showing an empty page (and an error message after a long while). I have to add the name of the logbook to the link. Why is that?
If I set different paths in the [global HBAR] and [global SMI] areas (like URL = https://lx0.mydomain.org/hbar/), I can access the links above (giving me the overview page as expected), but I can't access the logbooks itself anymore.

However, that's not a big problem (I can access the logbooks via direct link and see all the others in the same group and switch to them), but the backup thing is.

So, main machine is lx0.mydomain.org and the backup machine is lx1...

Attached are my config files.
I deleted many of the logbook specific entries, since they aren't important and just look like the first one.

Hope anyone can help,
Roland.

The synchronize feature is totally worthless to me.

First of all the automatic backup doesn't work - and nobody seems to know why - and pressing the synchronize button by hand from time to time also doesn't work if the entry is too big:

Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message

So, copying the files manually helps, but for this I don't need a "fancy" synchronize feature.

Hello everybody,

we had to setup a new server for our elog some time ago because the old one crashed. We are now running version ELOG V3.1.1-0767eb0.

In the previous installation we had these nice buttons for file upload, time stamp and equation editor, which are also available here in the online version.

I already found that in the installation directory ("/usr/local/elog/") there exists a directory "scripts" containing a file "ckeditor-config.js", which also contains the lines:
"config.extraPlugins = 'timestamp,dndfiles,eqneditor,fileupload';" and "{ name: 'insert', items: [ 'Image', 'Table', 'HorizontalRule', 'Smiley', 'SpecialChar', 'PageBreak', 'FileUpload', 'Timestamp', 'EqnEditor' ] },"

These plugins seem to be available in the subdirectory "scripts/ckeditor/plugins/". But why are they not loaded? Is it just a version issue? Or something else?

It would be nice to get a hint.

Best regards,

Roland

Dear Stefan,

thanks for your hints. Meanwhile we already solved the problem. I think it was caused by the recovery from a backup version after the server crash ... and the retirement of the person who did the previous installation.

We found the following things to be faulty:

1. Somebody linked the "elog/scripts/ckeditor"-directory to "../../javascript/ckeditor" (maybe an independent installation of ckeditor). Due to this the relative path in "ckeditor/config.js" to "../ckeditor-config.js" could not be correctly resolved to be "elog/scripts/ckeditor-config.js". Now we put the absolute path.
2. Furthermore the owner of all files in the elog directory was set to root:root with read access only for root. We changed them now to root:elog and gave read acess for everybody.

Now everything works as expected.

I'm sorry for inconvenience,

Thanks and best regards,

Roland

Attached the shell scripts using awk and sed how I have migrated two separated logbooks into one single and how I re-adjusted certain attributes.
